4. Repair limit and allowable value
●
The size of a part changes due to wear
and deformation while it is used. The limit
of changed size is called the "repair limit".
●
If a part is worn to the repair limit must be
replaced or repaired.
●
The performance and function of a product
lowers while it is used. A value below which
the product can be used without causing a
problem is called the "allowable value".
●
If a product is worn to the allowable value,
it must be checked or repaired. Since the
permissible value is estimated from vari-
ous tests or experiences in most cases,
however, it must be judged after consider-
ing the operating condition and customer's
requirement.
5. Clearance limit
●
Parts can be used until the clearance be-
tween them is increased to a certain limit.
The limit at which those parts cannot be
used is called the "clearance limit".
●
If the clearance between the parts exceeds
the clearance limit, they must be replaced
or repaired.
6. Interference limit
●
The allowable maximum interference be-
tween the hole of a part and the shaft of
another part to be assembled is called the
"interference limit".
●
The interference limit shows the repair limit
of the part of smaller tolerance.
●
If the interference between the parts ex-
ceeds the interference limit, they must be
replaced or repaired.

Handling Electrical and Hydraulic Components
To maintain the performance of the machine
over a long period, and to prevent failures or
other troubles before they occur, correct "oper-
ation", "maintenance and inspection", "trouble-
shooting", and "repairs" must be carried out.
This section deals particularly with correct re-
pair procedures for mechatronics and is aimed
at improving the quality of repairs. For this
purpose, it gives sections on "Handling electric
components" and "Handling hydraulic equip-
ment" (particularly gear oil and hydraulic oil).

1. Handling wiring harnesses and connec-
tors
Wiring harnesses consist of wiring con-
necting one component to another compo-
nent, connectors used for connecting and
disconnecting one wire from another wire,
and protectors or tubes used for protecting
the wiring.
Compared with other electrical compo-
nents fitted in boxes or cases, wiring
harnesses are more likely to be affected
by the direct effects of rain, water, heat, or
vibration. Furthermore, during inspection
and repair operations, they are frequently
removed and installed again, so they are
likely to suffer deformation or damage. For
this reason, it is necessary to be extremely
careful when handling wiring harnesses.
